Hi all,

Having just come up to 3 years ned early stage breast cancer after having to worry about getting herceptin at the end of my chemo and rads and I found (via the televison) on the 23rd august 2006 that I would get it(five days before I finished rads).

Now basically I see a surgical registrar once a year (not the surgeon who did my mastectomy) I have had to fight for it but I do get yearly mammograms and ovarian scans and definitedly no oncologist and I just wanted to have something to hang on to if needed which was tykerb.

I am so furious

Janie (from the UK). Here we go again in this country ,like we had to do for herceptin!
